"It should be remembered that hundreds of people of African ancestry
also walked the Trail of Tears with the Cherokee during the forced
removal of 1838-1839. Although we know about the terrible human
suffering of our native people and the members of other tribes during
the removal, we rarely hear of those black people who also suffered."
-- Wilma Mankiller (autobiography Mankiller: A Chief and Her People)

Cherokee Census Rolls
http://www.tngenweb.org/cherokee_by_blood/census.htm
"The Mullay Roll was expressly limited by the federal government because its purpose was not to enumerate all Cherokee, or even all Cherokee in North Carolina, but only those who were eligible for certain payments." From John R. Finger, The Eastern Band Of Cherokees 1819-1900, Univ. of Tennessee Press, 1984.
*The Act of Congress Roll
http://www.tngenweb.org/cherokee_by_blood/aoc.htm
"This small roll (only 88 names) of the Eastern Cherokees is seldom mentioned and often overlooked, yet it was one of the criteria that Guion Miller used in deciding the eligibility of applicants to the Guion Miller Roll of 1906-1910."
*Chapman Roll Eastern Cherokees
http://www.tngenweb.org/cherokee_by_blood/chapman.htm
"The Chapman Roll was taken in 1851 by Alfred Chapman. This roll, which followed almost immediately the Siler Roll, was a result of many complaints by various Cherokees of having been omitted by Siler (see Cherokee Census Rolls )."
*Index to Guion Miller Roll of Eastern Cherokees
http://www.tngenweb.org/cherokee_by_blood/miller.htm
"The National Archives has uploaded the digital images of the entire index to the Guion Miller Roll applications. This is a great finding aid. There were 46,000 applications to this important Cherokee Roll. For the first time you can now check online to see if one of your family members applied to be admitted to the Guion Miller Roll."

Cherokee Trail Of Tears Park 'Located In Hopkinsville. KY'
http://www.trailoftears.org/
"This historic park is one of the few documented sites of actual trail and campsites
used during the forced removal of the Cherokee people to "Indian Territory". It was
used as an encampment in 1838 and 1839. This park is the burial site for two
Cherokee Chiefs who died during the removal - Fly Smith and Whitepath. This long,
cruel relocation has become known as the "Trail Of Tears" and by Native Americans
as "The Trail Where They Cried". Every year on the first full weekend of September,
the Trail Of Tears Commission sponsors an intertribal Pow Wow at the park."
